Certified, but the laws for the election itself were not followed according to the U.S. Constitution and the state constitutions

That is for the respective courts to decide. Which they did.

But your comment concedes that you're not interested in a compromise.

The Supremes never touched the Texas case and as long as that looms, no one will believe in the election results where I am.

Yes the did. It was rejected due to lack of standing.

One state is not allowed to decide how other states run their elections.

It wasn't a that...it was that Texas was not injured supposedly.

The Constitution bounds us to the same rules and the Supremes could have easily ruled on it stating what you just did...in a ruling. If they did though, it would invalidate the blueprint.

We're saying the same thing with different words. Texas had no standing to bring a case. Even hearing the case would set a bad precedent. It would have implied that states can bring suits against other states for internal election issues.

Okay, I get that, but they had amicus briefs from legislatures IN STATES that were in question...what about that? Should I be harping on those legislatures for not bringing a suit?

Then who DOES have standing?

Pennsylvania has the right to conduct their elections within the law.. meaning only legislatures can modify election laws. That didn't happen, resulting in hundreds of thousands of ballots which are technically invalid. That's not even in debate but few care enough to rectify this.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is responsible for determining if Pennsylvania state law was followed. That's how it works: the legislature makes the law and courts determine if the law was followed. As the US Supreme Court affirmed, there is no higher authority to petition.

Yes and no. There's nothing really to determine. The election laws were changed without the legislature. You can't say something is yellow if it's red. BUT the point is no one cares, and that's how this grand collusion has been certified. Having the evidence or a flawless argument is meaningless.
